Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Hello, have a question to the community who own a Playbar. If we supposed that the Playbar supports DTS, does your TV support DTS passthrough over the optical cable? I think the most of us have to buy an additional optical audio switch.
I definitely get DD 5.1 on the PLAYBAR. My cable box, PS3 games and any Blu-ray with a DD5.1 correctly show "Dolby Digital 5.1" when I check the Sonos app. However whenever I play a Blu-ray that only has a DTS track I see "Stereo" for audio in on the Sonos app.

Well, although LPCM (as defined for A/V) can be a decoded multi-channel version of whatever the source is (i.e. If it is decoded from DTS-HS/MA or Dolby TrueHD, then is is lossless to the original master, if it is decoded from DTS or DD, it is lossy to the original master), this is not what we are talking about here. In this case the PS3 is 'downrezzing' the 5/7.1 DTS signal to 2.0 channel PCM, which is the equivalent of the old Dolby Surround signal. Note that with newer DSPs, such as Pro-Logic II (which I assume Sonos is using some form of), this can sound pretty good. But it is not true, discrete 5.1 audio.

Your PS3 is downmixing to PCM 2.0 - stereo. 6 channels squeezed into two. You lose most of the surround effect, lose the discrete centre channel and lose the subwoofer track. That's why it sounds rubbish.

"Note that with newer DSPs, such as Pro-Logic II (which I assume Sonos is using some form of), this can sound pretty good." I disagree, it's OK at best.

@Ben: yeah, I mean the audio quality on the Star Wars Blu-rays varies throughout. Sometimes it sounds good (never great) and other times it sounds almost muted and very compressed which is a shame. From what I gather here, adding DTS support for the PLAYBAR will improve this pretty significantly.

The degree of difference between "pretty good" and "OK" is not even worth arguing over. Tomato, tomahto.

I've just bought one today and now I wish I didn't. I assumed something basic as DTS support, would be included. Hopefully I can return the playbar. Very, very disappointing.

I can't believe the playbar doesn't support DTS, I returned mine and won't consider it again until it does. How many calls and angry emails does Sonos get a day from people who get this thing home, plug it in, put on a Blu-ray that has DTS (which is now almost all of them) and get silence? It's supposed to be a plug and play so to speak and easy for the consumer right? What "regular" consumer is going to think to research such a thing first and know if they're playing a Blu-ray with a DTS track to disable it on their player and set the audio output to bitstream in order to get it to work? That is crazy. Sure, I could figure it out but I'm tech savvy, isn't this product also supposed to cater and appeal to the non-tech savvy? I'm flabbergasted as to why DTS support wasn't included. I didn't even bother to check, I just figured it was as what product at this price point doesn't and hasn't for years? Under consideration for three months? Yikes. Sonos: add it and I will reconsider your product, otherwise forget it.

Maybe while this topic is under consideration Sonos should consider changing their marketing blurb. From: "Plays all sources plugged in to your HD TV: satellite boxes, Blu-Ray players, and video game consoles. If it’s connected to your HD TV, PLAYBAR will play it." To: "Plays some sources plugged in to your HD TV: satellite boxes, Blu-Ray players, and video game consoles. If it’s connected to your HD TV and is configured to output sound in a compatible format, PLAYBAR will play it. Otherwise you will get silence."

Well, from a dumb consumers position that statement would be true. Almost no tv passes the original signal to the optical output, it will be most likely be downmixed to stereo. That way the playbar can handle every device you connect to your tv. They only forget to mention you don't get the real deal, no true 5.1 home theather experience.
